Integration with vBulletin - Mobile Device & Browser Detection (Adapted by BOP5)

This mod has no settings or options.

Installed alone and you will see nothing new.

The purpose of this mod is to bring a reliable way of detecting mobile browsers and devices to vBulletin for use in other mods.

Currently the only mod I know it is recommended for is my Sidebar Anywhere mod.

The bulk of the work of this mod is done by a publicly available PHP Mobile Detection class from:
http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/

The file name was changed to prevent conflicts but the file contents including license information remains unchanged.

Once installed the mod will allow you to use $vbulletin->detect to detect various mobile options anywhere $vbulletin variable is available in the code.

Its plugin load priority is set to 1 so it executes before all other plugins.

$vbulletin->options['bop5_mob_detect'] = true; //True if mod enabled/installed

$vbulletin->detect->isMobile()    - true if any mobile device
$vbulletin->detect->isTablet()    - true if tablet
$vbulletin->detect->isiOS()       - true if any iOS device
$vbulletin->detect->isAndroidOS() - true if any Android

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this.

I suggest changing the hook to "init_startup" to be able to replace default mobile browser detection in init.php with:

if($vbulletin->options['bop5_mob_detect'])
{
	$mobile_browser = $vbulletin->detect->isMobile();
	if($mobile_browser && $vbulletin->detect->isTablet()) $mobile_browser = false;
	$mobile_browser_advanced = $mobile_browser;
}

That way tablets will not be considered as mobile devices, thus not being served mobile style as default style.

Can you explain how to implement this? Which files i have to modify?

Thanks.

Installing this doesn't change any styles. It is for use in your own custom coding.

Can it be used for changing styles?

One potential use I can see for this is controlling the number of columns shown on the CMS page when viewed on a mobile device as set in the Content Columns dropdown in the Section Information section of the (frontend) Section editor. Certainly for my site, it look much better as one column on a mobile device, but better as two columns on a desktop computer.

Is there an easy way to use this plugin to conditionify whatever bit of code sets the number of columns?

With this plugin can assign users how mobile themes?

To earlier question, how do you use this to change styles?
